Okaaaay, I'm sure I've read about porn produced my women and sort of softer?

So basically teen ds know how I feel about porn and understand why............but are there any porn sites like what I have mentioned, that They could be pointed to?

God I know this is a ridiculous question and situation. But I would really like them to understand sex properly, sensual. Not degrading, strangulation, sluts getting banged, yanked about ect.....

I don't know what else to say, but hopefully you get the jist.

Here - this book Sex and Lovers www.sexandlovers.uk

I had a look before handing it over and decided it was suitable for my 16 year old (but told him he had to keep it away from the 13 year old).

I need to read the thread properly now and see if anyone else has mentioned it!

There's an American website called Scarleteen which will cover some or all of what you are asking. I can't endorse it from experience so you will have to check it out and see what you think. I just know my American friend - who is very open talking to her sons about mutual sexual pleasure and consent - is often posting links from it. Just put Scarleteen in your search engine and you'll find it.

If you are willing to talk to your son about porn it's not a forgone conclusion that he will watch it. Help him understand about the abuse and degradation that takes place in producing the films his peers might watch.

Omgyes is a site about how women achieve orgasm. Might be helpful?!

I'm sure there's a thread re: ethical porn on the sex topic OP.

You're right, they are going to look at it anyway. So horrendous that you're even having to think about this. But I get where you're coming from. Good luck!!!

Agree with last poster - try to explain that lots of porn out there is basically rape & therefore really not ok when you think about it!

Gail Dines (anti-porn feminist) does some educational programmes for teenagers.
She's British but based in the US. She was talking a while ago if getting an info / education pack for parents but I don't know where that's up to.

I am so thankful that someone has raised this. I have a 14 year old boy who ivd caught using porn. I spoke to him about porn sites and how they portray women and give a false identity to what actually what sex is about. . Porn can Bd educational but it has to be tbs right sort

ZOMBIE THREAD FROM 3 YEARS AGO..

Sex between people can be the most lovely, intimate, thrilling, joyful, satisfying and remarkable thing to physically share and explore safely together. Why would we go down the route of encouraging our children to primarily see sex as a lonely, selfish pursuit? Of course masturbation can be a healthy way to learn how your body works, but shouldn't sex education have as its main goal the ethical pleasures of sex with another person you fancy?

One of the downfalls of the pandemic is teenagers miss out on dating and all the normal lessons they'd learn that involves physical sexual experiences with another human.

@CaraDuneRedux dang....thank you. I saw this just after I posted.

Whilst I really do not agree with porn as a teaching tool, if you are set on this over a book, the website Ohmyyes might help - although it’s really for women to help them get in touch with their own sexuality.

The research shows that the use of porn is very damaging for a teenage brain and not something to be encouraged.

With my teenage son we have talked about how viewing porn is linked with erectile dysfunction and addiction. That's quite a good deterrent
